>>12710256You must be able to admit that politicians, at least those in higher office, had to use their intelligence to obtain their position.
Which is evidentiary of foresight.
Rather, the issue is that most politicians simply don’t care about the repercussions. Getting elected requires voters, and most voters operate on the retardedly simple basis of “what have you done for me lately”.
Not that this is an acceptable scapegoat for rampant corruption.
